Secret Garden Sewing...

I bravely cut into my Sandi Henderson fabric. The feel of this fabric is amazing. It's soft and silky. I may have to even splurge on a silk or bamboo batting for this one!

My original plan was to use 4 quarter-square triangles in the center, but I tried that and it looked like a jumbled mess. So I ended up cutting it as one square and, wow, it looks much better (Nicky, I think you suggested that!). The block is simple, but will truly show off the beautiful, big prints.
Four done...



Here they are on the design wall (with a little sneak peek at my circling geese). Now I'm ready to order the hyacinth blue for the sashing. To be continued...

    Stunning! I hadn't realised the centres were made up of triangles - your plan definitely suits your fabric better. Love the circling geese!

    Pretty! Very oriental looking. Those center squares are perfect looking. I think they would only look good pieced if they were solids. N
